Overpriced Franklin of the Month #1

I will post a Franklin each month that is overpriced or underpriced ;
This month it's the PCGS MS 65 FBL 1952-S ,
currently selling between 600$ - 1000$
The coin has a pop. of 238 coins !
Many of the MS 65 PCGS FBL coins do not have well defined full bell lines and there is disagreement within the circle of qualified Franklin specialists as to just what is
and what isn't a FBL 1952-S Franklin .
The 1951-S Franklin can be found with fairly bold , no-brainer FBL's ; this is not true of the '52-S .
I have seen few - if any , PCGS 1952-S Franklins in the MS 65 grade with true bold full bell lines .
The PCGS MS 66 1952-S with a pop. of 209 can be bought for between 150$ - 200$
By PCGS standards , the MS 66 1952-S Franklin in MS 66 is a far better value then the over-priced MS 65 FBL version .
The 1952-S Franklin is the only PCGS MS 65 mint state Franklin that has risen in value over the past 5 years !

Me too as that was the first thing I thought of when I saw the thread's title....
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
You think are underpriced
B. of the Month? are you trying to drive prices down?
C. I believe in Franklin. As a philosphical patriot !
<< <i>A. Franklins are not overpriced compared to other coins.

A. the 1952-S FBL Franklin in MS-65 is overpriced relative to the series as a whole

So dont compare Fraklins to Walkers or Barbers...
They are each their own thing, Thats all I wanted to say, ;-) Be good !
In Slumdog Millionaire they didn't ask "who is on the U.S. half-dollar coin that preceded Kennedy?"
